NFS Carbon Sound Update
Engine/exhaust sounds that this mod alters:
- Any car that uses dodg_hemi_a (dodg_hemi_a fix is included in this).
- Aston Martin DB9 (tuned) - uses the DB9 sound from Undercover, which is a slightly more aggressive version of the stock sound from Carbon--no longer sounds like a weird SL65.
- BMW M3 GTR ALMS - now revs all the way up again, just as it did in MW05.
- Chevrolet Camaro Concept - uses the Camaro sound from HP2010.
- Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 - Tuned uses the above new Camaro sound.
- Ford GT - Tuned now uses for_mus_c for the exhaust, revs higher and the supercharger whines a little more as a result.
- Koenigsegg CCX - Uses some V8 sound from HP2010 that was used for the GT500 exhaust and Agera engine. I tried the CCX/CCXR/Agera exhaust sample from HP2010 but couldn't get it to sound right.
- Lamborghini Gallardo - Stock now uses vanilla Gallardo sound, while tuned uses the Sesto Elemento sound from HP2010.
- Lamborghini Murcielago - Stock uses the Murcielago SV sound from NFS The Run, while tuned is the Murcielago SV sound from HP2010 (which sounds like a high-revving Murcielago RGT if you play back the decoded GIN). Constant RPM samples were replaced since the cruise samples were from a Gallardo (and incorrectly-pitched anyway), while the first 2 load samples were V8 sounds (wtf EA...). Yes, this is the case in MW05, too...
- Mazda RX-8 - Tuned no longer uses Ferrari 360 samples--new sound taken from HP2010.
- Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG - Tuned now uses mer_sl65_b from Undercover, revlimited to 7093 RPM, has more of a turbo-V12 sound now instead of a weird V8.
- Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren - Stock uses for_gt_a (engine sound) for that supercharger whine, while tuned takes that and adds mer_slr_b from Undercover. Also changes the tuned induction sound to TURBO_SC_MBZ_MB.
- Nissan Skyline R34 - Stock untouched, while pro engine uses nis_sky_c from Undercover and nis_sky_c_eng + nis_sky for maxed engine.
- Pagani Zonda F - uses pag_zondaf and also changes the exhaust AEMS bank to use samples from NFS Shift Zonda instead of recycled Gallardo sounds.
- Plymouth Hemi Cuda - now uses plym_cuda_a for tuned, revlimited to 6500 RPM to avoid the weird oscillations that were recorded in the GIN file towards the end.
- Toyota Supra - Uses toy_supra_b from Undercover for stock, toy_supra_a for pro engine, and toy_supra_a_eng + nis_sky for maxed engine.
This mod also backports the supercharger sounds from Undercover; namely...
- centrifugal_02 (slightly different version of TURBO_SC_MUSTANG_MB, they sound very similar...)
- centrifugal_17
- centrifugal_18
- roots_03
- twinscrew_04
- twinscrew_19
Installation instructions are in the readme.
Update 4/02/2022: Reduced crackling on some samples thanks to a new version of the EA ADPCM codec from CrabJournal. It's still not 100% perfect, but it's massively improved. I feel much better about releasing this now.

hate to be a party pooper, but I had another go with the headphones and there seems to be subtle clipping/popping throughout the new zonda samplesdon't know if that's a result of ABK creation or the original audio was recorded that way

@Lexal now I just need a version of ABK_insert that properly resizes ABKs that use the older format (BNK1) so that I can release the MW analog to this.

I'm in love with the new zonda audio, blows the vanilla set out of water, not even a contestkeep it coming, it's great that we finally have solid means of ABK modding
